The firm roughly estimated their loss at
500; fully covered by insurance in local
companies. All their plans were badly
damaged or ruined and to replace these
will be work OF time and trouble. In.
cluded among them were the complete
plans OF the plumbing in several large in

THE GREAT RAFT

Lost at Soa and Msnacing Vessels Approach.
Ing the Coast.
NRw York, Dec. 23.-Who is to blame
for the abandonment Of the big drift raft
that is now menacing ships approaching
our coast? Those who shared the fortunes
OF the raft until the sea claimed its own
Sunday last have sufficiently forgotten the
perils and danger that enoompassed them
to find time for accusation and incrimina.
tion. The big raft was on its way here
from Nova Scotia and was lost near New.
port shoals during storm on Sunday
morning. a.-tJga.. III. -
The steamer Miranda, which had her in
tow, came near being wrecked also, and
got into Whitestone Tuesday in badly
damaged condition. il I'I-
The raft consists Of 10000 pieces of
spruce timber and is longer than the larg-
eat OF our ocean steamers, drawing more
water, and Of about the same width, It
ie: held together by complex system of
chains, and required nearly six months TO
get 1t prepared for starting.
Whom the immenaity Of the raft ia con-
sidered, 1t can readily be seen why it was
that the undertaking was 80 closely
watched by the great lumber trade Of the
country.
Tho importance of the experiment will
be appreciated by the outside public when
it Is learned that to carry this lumber to
thia city would require nearly one hun
dred steamers each carrying 100 tons. The
loss Of the raft involves very large sum
Of money.
The talk Of those interested may be en-.
tertaining, but 1t is little comfort for those
whose friends are winning bread from the
waters, and who may be in peril from the
monster, to know that Mr.. Hugh r. Rob-
ertson, the pstentee of the system on
which the raft was constructed, and Mr.,
James D. Leary, its owner, accuse Gap.
tain Leseman Of the steamer Miranda Of
cowardice and incspacity, and that Cap
tain Lsssman assures the public that both
Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Leary are pre-.
varicators. al.
Collector Magone has sent ont the reve-
nue. cutter Grant, with ordera! to capture
the relict If possible, and take it some
where or anywhere out OF the road.
